    Am I correct in assuming that "draft" means what is suggests? That is,
    that it is a propasal and possibly not what was accepted by the 
    standards committe. In the case of jpeg, the draft is a complete joke
    in terms of actual implementation. Everyone used there own proprietary
    version of the jpeg compression scheme, and today the so called standard
    jpeg/jfif has been updated to use a "progressive" implementation by the
    ijg (see help about in any program that uses jpeg and you'll find their
    name).
    Java has been added upon also and now there is the 1.0 and 1.1 language
    specifications, so what about c++? Did they think they would get it 
    right the first time an not need revision/improvement?
         
    I'm being drowned in lack of standards in standards!
